Say hello to Irene
As the East Coast braces for the first hurricane of the 2011 season, it's a good opportunity to look at these amazing storms from a different perspective. NASA offers just the right viewpoint. Astronaut Ron Garan snapped this image of Hurricane Irene from the International Space Station as the storm passed over the Caribbean on Aug. 22, 2011.

Who is the nutcase who keeps writing "Irene, we love you, etc.?" I'll bet you were just absolutely wild about Katrina, weren't you? Of course it did rid us of quite a number of Welfare hangers on . . . . .
Is it not amazing how Mother Nature can b soooo beautifull and yet soooo destructive at the same.these pics r extremly AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shelley from Florida
You do know, when you see a satellite picture of the east coast, you're seeing it "from space". This is just a lower level altitude which makes it look more extreme (hard to say that when hurricanes are quite extreme).
Irene, we love you very much. Please be gentle as soon as possible!!! Infinite Gratitude to Nature!!!

Beautiful pics, Irene is massive. I live in Virginia and hope this one doesn't do us much damage.
